Meta Tag Generator

The title element and meta description matter most: Google often uses them for the clickable title and snippet in results. A canonical link tells search engines which URL is the main version of a page, and robots controls indexing. Open Graph and Twitter Card tags don't affect rankings but decide how links look when shared.

Google sets no character limit — it truncates by pixel width on the device. As a rule of thumb, titles of about 50–60 characters and descriptions of about 150–160 usually show in full on desktop. The generator counts both as you type; treat the counts as guidance, not a ranking rule.

Google has said since 2009 that it ignores the keywords meta tag for ranking, and other major engines give it little or no weight. Adding it only shows competitors which terms you target, so it's left out.

No. Google may write its own snippet from the page text when that better matches a search, and it can rewrite titles too. A specific, accurate description that matches the page's content is the best way to have yours used.

Open Graph (og:title, og:image and so on) was created by Facebook and is read by most apps that build link previews, including LinkedIn, Slack and iMessage. X (Twitter) reads its own twitter:card tag to pick the layout and falls back to the Open Graph title, description and image. The generator sets twitter:card to summary_large_image when you add an image, otherwise summary.

They are escaped so the HTML stays valid. Inside a content="…" attribute, a raw quote would end the attribute early and break the tag. The generator writes & as &, " as ", and does the same for <, > and apostrophes. Browsers and crawlers turn them back into the original characters.

For pages that shouldn't appear in search results: thank-you pages, internal search results, staging copies or thin tag pages. It writes robots as "noindex, follow", so the page stays out of results while links on it are still followed. Don't also block the page in robots.txt, or crawlers won't see the noindex.

Use website for home pages, tool pages, product and category pages — anything that isn't a dated piece of writing. Use article for blog posts, news stories and guides. Most link previews look the same either way; the type mainly describes the page to apps that read it.

A widely used size is 1200 × 630 pixels (about 1.91:1), which shows well on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack and as an X large-image card. Keep important text away from the edges in case of cropping, and enter the full https:// address — the generator only accepts HTTP or HTTPS URLs, because relative paths don't work in og:image.

Social platforms cache link previews, sometimes for days. After updating your tags, ask them to re-read the page — for example with Facebook's Sharing Debugger or LinkedIn's Post Inspector — and check that the image URL opens publicly without a login.

Inside the <head> element of the page, replacing any existing title, description, canonical and og: tags so there's only one of each. In a CMS such as WordPress, an SEO plugin usually manages these fields instead — enter the same values there.

No. The tags are assembled in your browser. Your title, description, URLs and author name aren't uploaded or stored, and the generator never fetches the URLs you enter.
